Default Where to get winter windshield wipers??

Would I be able to find them at an auto parts store or maybe an Audi dealership? I already tried some of the more expensive universal Rain-X wipers, but none of the way to attach them will work. The audi wipers have a very unique way of fitting, almost like a wedge..

I just moved to Nebraska and it is already snowing (in October!), so I'm trying to winterize my car. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If you have the standard wiper arms you need to go to the dealer tog et wiper blades...not sure if you have a choice of winter blades or not though. You will not be able to get wiper blades that fit at a standard parts store...we feel your pain.

If you want to use standard wiper blades from the parts store you need to get the aero wiper kit.

I went to the dealership today and picked up some new blades. I ran into a little issue though.. The blade arms had been replaced with a newer Audi style, so the blades for my VIN didn't work. Thankfully the dealership had blades for the newer style though It's amazing how much of a difference good wiper blades makes. Thanks for the input guys.
